Subject: French Toast
Good morning!
I was wondering if you obtain recipes from currently operating
restaurants? I would dearly love to have the recipe for "Kristina's
Specialty Stuffed French Toast.". It is from the Beach Dog Cafe in Lincoln
City, Oregon, at 6042 Oregon Coast Highway. I am particularly interested in
the light, citrus cream cheese filling, but would love to have the entire
recipe.
Thanks in advance for your efforts!!
Sincerely,
Carol
Hello Carol,
Sorry, I do not contact currently operating restaurants and ask for their
recipes.
While searching for your requested recipe, I found a post on a message board from
at least one diner who asked for this recipe at the Cafe and was rejected.
Beach Dog Café apparently does not give out their recipes. Most restaurants do
not give out their recipes. Some of them, like Red Lobster, occasionally create
home versions of their recipes and will give them to diners on request. However,
this is extremely rare. Therefore, we have to rely on people who create "copycat recipes".
No one seems to have taken on the challenge of duplicating "Kristina's Specialty Stuffed
French Toast", not even the citrus cream cheese filling.
Beach Dog Café's menu is on their site here: Beach Dog Cafe
Their menu describes the French toast thus:
*Kristina’s Specialty Stuffed French Toast..$8.95
-Stuffed with a light homemade citrus
cream cheese and sliced bananas, and then
grilled golden. Dusted with powdered sugar
and topped with a mixed berry
compote and whip cream.
There is a photo of it here: Trip Advisor
From the photo, the berries appear to be blackberries.
There is a cream-cheese stuffed French toast recipe with berries here: Yummly
I found a citrus cream cheese filling recipe as part of this cake recipe: Cook Eat Share
Since no one has created a copycat for this dish, perhaps you will be the
one to do it. There may be enough information here that, added to your
memory of how the dish tastes, will enable you to begin.
Good luck!

Subject: Jalapeno Poppers recipe from Quagmire's on the Outer Banks, NC
I know the restaurant is closed but am hoping someone out there has their recipe -
it tasted like they used corn dog coating on the outside and cheddar cheese on the
inside of the jalapeno.

Hi Deb,
I had no success at all with this. I’ll post it.

Hello Len,
I found a few mentions of Pappy's Restaurant in St Augustine, but no recipes
and no mentions of Hopalong Fried Chicken Gizzards.
I'll post this on the site in case a reader can help. Meanwhile, there are
other fried gizzard recipes available, such as these:

Subject: Salisbury Steak recipe
Hi Unc,
It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. I have been attempting to find a recipe
for Salisbury Steak that the Army served in 60’s & 70’s.
My searches have been fruitless.
I’m hoping that you may be able to help.

Hi Joe,
Good to hear from you.
The problem with your request is the dates. The current Armed Forces Food Service recipe manual is available online.
I have it downloaded to my hard drive, and the Salisbury steak recipe from it is below.
However, I have no way of knowing whether the current Salisbury steak recipe is the same one from the 60s & 70s.
Searching online in the hopes that someone has posted the recipe presents the same problem. People don’t usually put dates on recipes when they post them. There is an example here of a military Salisbury steak recipe: Army Cook

Hello again Uncle Phaedrus,
I hope this email finds you well. I've found a number of army documents with
slightly varying recipes for salisbury steak, ranging from the 1970s to present,
and also anecdotes of army chefs. It appears that many chefs would, not
unsurprisingly, add their own spin to the recipe by using additional ingredients
like celery, thyme, and other seasonings.
Who knows how helpful this all is, but I have it, so why not pass it along?
The following two recipes come from 1976 and 1975 Production Guides for Meat
and Vegetable Entrees. The only difference between the two versions is that rather
than rice flour, the 1975 version calls for Col-Flo 67 Starch in the same amount -
any freeze-thaw stable starch will work.
Additionally, a 1985 production guide (found here:www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA161276)
contains the same recipe with a modified brown gravy recipe- it alls for making
a roux with shortening and flour, dissolving col-flo 67 starch with water, adding
stock or water, followed by black pepper, garlic pepper, kitchen bouquet, beef soup
& gravy base, and the col-flo starch, then more water or stock.
